Warren's band 'Glass Ties' had two singles out in the early 80's with EMI.Tight/Saturday Girls and You You You/Views from Other Bridges.

During the eighties, Warren made a name for himself working extensively in TV and films, producing over twenty albums.

Warren's first solo project came in 1989 with "Pathways to Love". Written and performed entirely by Warren, this album reached the top of many new age charts. The follow up album "Secrets of the Heart" appeared in 1994 to repeat the success.

Many Shadows fans, however, will have first taken their first real notice of Warren when he appeared on the 1994 tour with Brian and Hank. During this tour, Warren showed that his talents are not only in composing and producing by displaying his multitude of talents as a performer on keyboard, guitar and as vocalist. Warren has continued to excel in the following tours and was a permanent feature in all of Hank's solo tours. particularly noteworthy were his contributions to "Guitar Tango" and the "extended FBI" on the 1997 and 1998 tours.

As well as working with Hank on his tours Warren played on and contributed arrangements to "Hank plays Cliff" and "Hank plays Holly" having earlier made similar contributions to "Heartbeat" and "Into the Light" the title track of which being one of Warren’s compositions. His arrangements of the James Bond Themes are amongst the highlights of Marvin at The Movies in 2000.

In between working with Hank and his extensive TV and film work, Warren has found some time to record in his own right. In 1995, the TV-advertised "Classic Guitar Moods" with his group Mirage (Warren, his brother in law, Mike Christer and Mark Griffiths) reached number 25 in the UK album charts, whilst 1996 saw a slight change of direction when he collaborated with Mark Griffiths to produce the stunning "Close to the Hedge", the follow up to which is eagerly awaited!

1997 saw the release of Darren Day’s "Summer Holiday" album featuring arrangements and performance by Warren. "The No 1 Sci-Fi Album" contained a version of the "Batman" TV theme played by Warren and Brian whilst he again demonstrated his talent for composing with the track "The Ghost of Old Compton Street" which was used to demonstrate the exciting sound of Jet Harris with the Burns Barracuda on the Local Heroes first CD, "One of our Shadows is Missing" (Warren provided keyboards and rhythm guitar for this track).

Warren also composed the music for LWT's new dramatic version of "Wuthering Heights", shown in April 1998. He  wrote the full score and theme which was performed by a 35-piece orchestra. An album of the music is available both in the shops and from Waffles Music. Later in 1998, Warren took over as composer of the LWT series "London's Burning." He has written a new theme and provided all the incidental music for series 11 and 12, Selections from which have recently been issued on CD.

2001 saw a collaboration with Dick Plant as THE VIBRATOS with the release of their critically acclaimed GHOST OF OLD COMPTON STREET album.This partnership has flourished with the further CDs "The Capuccino Kid", "Tornado Alley" and 2 CD EPs, as well as appearances at Pipeline, Shadowmania, Versailles and The Shaddicts.
